About this Privacy Policy

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to let you know what data we collect when you use our website and our services, and how we use that data.

None of the data we collect is shared with third parties other than as declared in this Privacy Policy.

By using our website or services, you are agreeing to allow us to use your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy.

Personal Data We Collect

If you register for an account with us, we will collect certain personally identifiable information from you, which may include your name, address, email address, phone number, name of your organisation and your industry sector.

Collectively, we refer to this data as your “Personal Information”.

If you use the Kirmada app by registering an account and installing our software, additional information will be collected which is necessary for us to provide our services to you. This may include the names of your Workspaces, the URLs you currently have open in those Workspaces, encrypted usernames and passwords associated with those URLs, timestamps and activity-types of your usage (for use in timesheets), the names and email addresses of people you invite to collaborate with you, information you make available by linking your social media accounts (User ID, URLs, name, profile pictures, analytical information etc.), content you create in linked social media accounts, advertising criteria you select in linked social media accounts, your social media posting schedule, and any other data you enter into the Schedule.

If you use our cloud storage (Resource Centre), the metadata associated with the files and folders you upload or create (e.g., filename, filetype, file size) may be known to us.

If you use our timesheet functions, we will also collect data such as your hourly billing rate and budgets you assign to your Workspaces.

Inbound Marketing Data

To promote and market our services efficiently, it is important for us to try and understand how you arrived at our website. We will therefore collect referrer information where available which may include the name and IP address of the referring website, advertising or referrer tags (whether passed as URL identifiers or Cookies), other demographic data supplied by the referring website pursuant to their terms of service, and affiliate identifiers.

If you subscribe to our service, we will collect information required for billing purposes for you and / or your organisation. This will include the method you use to pay for your subscription, your billing address, the date you subscribed, your renewal date and any extra services or accounts you have opted to be billed for.

If you pay for other subscribers to use our services, your user profile will be linked to theirs and vice versa.

Affiliates & Brand Ambassadors

If you register as an Affiliate or Brand Ambassador of ours, usage of your personal data will be governed by the Privacy Policy of our affiliate partner website / service.

Data Retention Policy

We will keep your Personal Information and other data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of our legitimate business interests that have been assessed and satisfy legal and reporting requirements.

For clarity, we retain all information collected for so long as you have an account with us or have opted into but not out of email marketing correspondence, so that we can operate your account and answer your queries with the full context of previous communications.

If you cancel your subscription, we will keep your Personal Information for 12 months to facilitate you resubscribing, should you wish to, without having to re-enter your Personal Information. If you ask us to erase your Personal Information or 12 months have elapsed since you cancelled our service, then, subject to our retention period for back-ups, your Personal Information will be erased from our systems.

Please note, however, that these retention periods may be extended if we are required to preserve your information or data because of litigation, investigations and other similar proceedings, or, particularly for financial records, a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.
